@Chris Abbey Thanks for pointing this out. I can't seem to find any corresponding commit related to a fix in 1.7.0 though. I'm looking at https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/commits/1.7.1/lib/facter/memory.rb for example - given that the original pull request https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/commit/15b857472a75caf9cd596c2b33d285577382293a involved a change to this file.
I think I've seen this issue myself in Precise. I am running "puppet apply" from a cronjob, and it occasionally hangs, eventually consuming all available memory. I am running the whole thing via the timeout command as a workaround. I think it is reasonable to fix this in Precise if there is a simple, obviously correct fix, but I can't find anything to cherry-pick. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to facter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/986973 Title: Facter bug causes puppet to hang To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/facter/+bug/986973/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
